Clover simplifies image management for your Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) environment, allowing you to create customized images tailored to your courses and labs effortlessly. It provides preconfigured Windows 10 and 11 multi-session<\/a> images that can be extended with the necessary tools and software for your virtual labs. These images come with fully licensed Windows operating systems, are automatically updated and maintained by Microsoft, and ensure compliance and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To manage your images, navigate to the “Images”<\/strong> section in the left-hand menu. Upon selection, Clover displays a list of created images along with their current statuses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note:<\/strong>A. Listing Images<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The selection of OS Disk Type<\/strong> and Image Size<\/strong> is exclusively relevant to the image creation process. This choice is entirely independent of the virtual machine sizes used later to instantiate the Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) host pool. The specific VM sizes and configurations for your AVD host pool will be defined separately during the host pool creation process.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nComplete the Image Creation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
